Ray J has pledged to be on his best behavior in 2026.
Taking to Instagram, Ray J, who recently celebrated his 45th birthday, admitted that he was “crashing out” in 2025
“Thank y’all for the love today, man. God is good. Something’s new, something’s gonna change this year,” Ray J said. “Sincerely, thank you for all your prayers. Thank you for all the love, all the criticism. Last year was a crazy year; it was a ‘crash-out campaign.’ It was intense, but God made it through and put us in the right position.”
“I promise y’all, this is gonna be a really, really different wave that we on now. All jokes aside, I love y’all, and I appreciate y’all, thank you.”
Ray J shared that his family helped him through his most difficult moments last year.
He also credited his family during what he described as a difficult period,
“Thank you to my family too, my mom, my dad, my sister, for having my back in this critical time,” he said. “ My sister came through for me, man, I needed her.”
“I walked through a season meant to break me. Jail, sickness, silence, and loss all at once. I take full accountability for my mistakes,” Ray J went on. “God still spared my life when I didn’t deserve it. That alone humbles me. My family covered me. Your prayers carried me.”
Ray J also explained that he’s no longer drinking alcohol.
“My health forced me to put the bottle down and face myself,” said Ray J. To the ones who love me and the ones who counted me out, thank you. I love you – ON GOD – I miss my kids so much. I will be with you soon.”
Brandy responded in the comments, showing her support for her brother.
“I love you so much bro. I’m here for you until the end -and after that [red heart emoji]. God Bless you and your journey. We will get through everything together! #sis”
